Suicide bombers struck two police stations in Afghanistan’s capital on Wednesday, killing at least five people and wounding 16, officials said. Barmak said “two or three” more attackers were holed up in a nearby building, trading fire with security forces. The Taliban and ISIS frequently target Afghanistan’s Western-backed government and security forces. Twin suicide bombings claimed by ISIS last week killed at least 42 people, including nine journalists who had rushed to the scene of the first attack. The Taliban issued a statement saying they control the district and claiming to have killed 10 security forces.
